FROME’S Steiner Academy will be holding its annual advent fair this weekend with a range of stalls, games and entertainment for all the family.
The Steiner Advent Fair is organised by parents of the school each year and welcomes the public in from the chill for hot food and cakes, stalls, and craft activities against the backdrop of a festively decorated building.
This year’s event will take place at the Steiner Academy on Park Road on Saturday 19th November from 11am to 4pm Entry is free.
Organiser Siera Scillitoe-Morris said, “The artisan market traders will be selling their beautifully hand crafted wares – it’ll be a great opportunity to browse and buy unique Christmas presents from over thirty stalls in Chantry Hall.
“Some very special classical and folk live musicians are performing and the parent and children’s choirs will be raising the roof of Auriol Hall.
“Beeswax candle dipping and traditional wreath making are a lovely advent presence. Wonderful children’s craft activities such as gingerbread decorating and natural potion making (perfect for Christmas gifts) will be in craft alley.
“There is the ‘children only’ shop to visit and the ‘Lucky Dip Wizard’ will be found wandering amongst the stalls and halls!
“Authentic storytelling in the Kindergartens, a children’s advent garden, circus workshops and perhaps the mysterious, magical King Winter will visit this year! At 3pm the raffle will be announced with incredible prizes.
“Each year the entire school pulls together to bring this wonderful seasonal event to the community of Frome. It’s a great fundraising effort and there’s so much for adults and children alike to do, taste and experience as well as fantastic entertainment.
“So please come along for a touch of festive spice and experience the warm heart of the day – the seasonal calendar wouldn’t be complete without a trip to this beautiful community advent fair!”
